SD65's Car
It never ends. I blocked SD65 and her daughter, C, so have had some quiet peaceful days. My DS who is local and YSS who lives out of state have taken on the SD project. The first issue was her car which was stranded somewhere in the city for weeks. DS got it to his friend's car repair shop for a diagnosis. It's shot, poor maintenance (no oil) and many other terminal problems. His friend estimates it might bring $400 (on the high side) for parts. DS and YSS think that's enough to clear SD's traffic warrants.
DS asked for her car title and planned to take it to her (85 miles) to sign. But, he wisely wants something in writing, even a text, giving him permission to sell the car. YSS is the official communication with SD but no reply. This is typical SD: people are willing to help her but she's not responding. DS won't leave her car sitting at his friend's shop, it's already been a couple weeks. If he doesn't get a reply from SD, he's going to borrow his friends tow and bring it here temporarily, then if no response, tow it up to C's apartment where SD lives
She always makes things 100 times worse than they could be. Ugh. DS had his wife with him today and I told him, don't go to SD's without your wife. SD is capable of anything.

Re: SD65's Car
Update: DS finally heard from SD65. She wants to sell it herself. My guess is she wants the $ for her own purposes, not to pay her warrants. DS's friend will let the car stay at his shop another week. Next week, DS will borrow his tow and take it to the apartment and give SD the title. He's washing his hands then. He had originally talked about helping her more but he's in buh bye mode now.
I told him it would be like this when he first talked about helping her. He envisioned bringing her here for a holiday.visit or bringing her grandson for my cooky day. I told him whatever he tried to do would be hindered by her lies and lack of communication.

Why would she pay the warrants? She does not expect to be held accountable. I guess she figures that if they pick her up, she will give them a sob story and they will let her go. Plus, if she sells the car, is not driving it, the odds of her doing something to attract police attention are small.
The only fly in the ointment is if she doesn’t sell the car right away. If she leaves it in the apartment complex, it might get towed away. Most apartment complexes here have rules about low long a non resident car can occupy a parking spot.

Re: SD65's Car
Yes, her sob stories are expert manipulations. I'm sure there will be plenty more drama before it's sold. I just cannot understand why she wouldn't take the easy route and have her step-brother do all the legwork. But, there are many things she does I don't understand.
This afternoon, I went on my state's casenet to see how many cases she has had. There are 17 !! entries but that includes 3 about her divorce. So, 14 entries: traffic tickets, evictions, the car title loan she defaulted on. Her license is still suspended and the warrants are still out.

Re: SD65's Car
Some people you cannot help - they either decide you have attacked them or otherwise turn your good deed into something bad. I am glad that DS is not bringing her car to your place - that would be another excuse for drama or for SD65 to pester you, I'm sure. I'm glad DS has seen the reality of SD's character and is having no more to do with her.

Re: SD65's Car
If he tries to bring her grandson for you cooky day, expect SD to try and crash that. Just say NO.

Re: SD65's Car
I had to look up to find (because we don't have it in the UK) that "National Cookie Day is an annual food holiday celebrated on December 4th dedicated to baking, sharing, and eating cookies"

Re: SD65's Car
I live in the US and have never heard or National Cookie day, lol. As for SD she won't ever do the right or easy thing, after all how will she get her drama fix if her life isn't in constant peril.

Re: SD65's Car
Well, Kes, it's nothing official for me. It's just something I started doing when the first gkids were about 3 or so (they're now 43). Whatever gkids were between 3 and about 10 came over and we made a big mess. Lol. SD's grandson is now 10, he's a little old for it, would probably think it was babyish .

Re: SD65's Car
I’m around the same age as your grandkids. I’d lose my sh!t if someone was treating my grandparents the way your SD is.

Re: SD65's Car
Thanks, Merrigan. What can I say, she's awful. Thank goodness the other 4 kids, especially my bios, feel the same. Every time my DS comes, he installs another security device. He's got my Ring set up so he can see who comes to the doors. My DD is keeping the condo keys, I think she's afraid I'd cave in and let SD back in. I dread the holidays, it's always super stress time with SD pulling out all the stops, she never has enough cash for her kids' gifts. On and on ....
